This is
the CrystalVue Optics SharpShooter Lens.
This
lens is an 8x32 and comes with a case, rubber eye cup, lens
caps, strap, and 37mm threads on both ends. The lens comes
with one adapter as well to attach to your camera. This lens
works well with smaller lens cameras. It originally
was made to use with the Nikon Coolpix brand of cameras and
can now be used with many more. The Olympus 5060 works
very well along with all the Canon Elph cameras.
Those with Nikon cameras with 28mm threads
(800,900,900S,950,990,995,4500,775 with UR-E3 adapter, 885
with UR-E4 adapter or equiv., 880 with UR-E2 or equiv, 5000
with UR-E5 or UR-E6 or equiv)do not have to order a 28-37
adapter as one will be included with the lens. UR-E5
is 46mm so if you have this let us know on the order and we
include a 46-37 for you. All other cameras come with
an adapter to fit to the lens adapter available for the
camera - or the actual thread the camera has.
This
lens will multiply your camera's focal length by 8x.
For expample - the Nikon 995 is a 38mm to 152mm 4x zoom - so
realistically you will get a 304mm - 1,216mm zoom with the
995. No other lens
available can even come close to this zoom range!
Not all
cameras can zoom all the way back to wide angle without
getting vignetting like the Nikon 995. This lens also
does better with those cameras whose iris actually moves
toward the front of the camera when zooming. To see
this you will have to look into the glass element from the
front of the camera and physically zoom to see which way the
iris moves.
This lens now
also works very well with the new Ricoh 5000 GPS cameras.
